A sprinkling of Duchamp, a dash of Beuys, a dusting of Kosuth and a generous dollop of talent. Witty, political,  eclectic and referential, this daring and dynamic duo takes from all mediums to challenge and provoke the viewer to thought, action, outrage, despair, laugh, cry, shout.  From two camel humps on an ironing board to the gorgeous and enigmatic photograph, Forecast (shown above), this show is guaranteed to turn you into a fan.  My favorite piece of the evening was Petrified Petrol Pump, 2010, a futuristic artifact that appears before us calcified, encrusted and haunting.
